Comprehensive Solutions for Excessive Sweating in London
Excessive sweating, often known as hyperhidrosis is a medical condition which can be both a physically uncomfortable and socially distressing condition. However, with advancements in medical science and dermatological treatments, London Professional Aesthetics (LPA) in EC1 offers the treatment for hyperhidrosis that has the best possible results.
Understanding Excessive Sweating: The Basics Excessive sweating affects various parts of the body and can sometimes be localised, such as the underarms, palms, or feet. The underarm sweat, in particular, can be especially troublesome, as it’s the most visible. The condition is caused by overactive sweat glands, which produce sweat in amounts more than the body’s typical requirement. Sweating is natural and is the body’s way of cooling down. However, when sweat production is in excess, it becomes an issue. It is not simply the inconvenience caused by overactive sweat but the way hyperhidrosis sufferers feel inhibited in social or business settings because they are worrying about how it is perceived by others and they find that they sweat even more with this anxiety – a catch-22 situation.
Why Does Excessive Sweating Occur? The nervous system stimulates the sweat glands, leading them to produce sweat. Whilst it is normal to sweat in some cases, the nerves that supply the sweat glands can become overactive, causing an increase in sweat production. It’s not just about being physically active or being in a hot environment; often, even mild or no triggers can cause excessive perspiration.
Available Treatment Options in EC1, London
London Professional Aesthetics (LPA) offers the most effective treatment to reduce excessive sweating. It is widely accepted in the medical world that that treatment is botox treatment, which involves a series of botox injections into the affected area. This treatment targets the nerves that supply the sweat glands, temporarily blocking the neurotransmitters that stimulate sweat production. As a result, there’s a significant reduction in sweat production.
Another method of treating excessive sweating involves the use of antiperspirants and topical products, which work by clogging the sweat ducts, thereby reducing the amount of sweat that reaches the skin’s surface. The stronger products can result in skin irritation and soreness, making this an unpopular choice for some. For those considering botox, a consultation with our experts in our EC1 clinic will provide an opportunity to discuss your treatment options in detail.
Post-Treatment Expectations Once the treatment is carried out, most patients experience a noticeable reduction in sweating within the first week after treatment. The effects of the treatment can last several months before the treatment will need to be repeated. Throughout this period, patients often find great relief and report significant improvements in their day-to-day lives, from social interactions to personal comfort.

If you suffer with hyperhidrosis book an an appointment for a consultation at LPA. Once you have discussed your hyperhidrosis symptoms treatment will depend on your suitability. Botulinum toxin treatment can take as little as 15-30 minutes to complete and is virtually pain-free.
Treatment involves botulinum toxin which we inject using a tiny needle. Excessive sweating may start to improve in a s little a s few days or by 2 weeks. Side effects are minimal. Very occasionally a small number of people may notice compensatory hyperhidrosis. This occurs when you start to sweat in a different area of the body. Typically this is the lower back. This is usually so mild (if it happens at all) that it is much more preferable than the original armpit issue and does not stop our patients from returning for repeat treatments to manage hyperhidrosis.
Note: Always consult a medical professional before undertaking any treatment for excessive sweating. Individual results may vary.
